Nowadays, more and more companies decide to outsource their accounting services. Also, it is quite common that entities which have no accounting departments on their own, entrust accounting to external partners. But what if a company has its own internal accounting department? In such a case, could the outsourcing cover only selected accounting elements or processes? The answer is: definitely so!

As new technologies and databases are being developed, a new version of the ERP system has been created - SAP S/4 HANA. SAP, as the system supplier, announced that soon it will stop supporting the previous version of the system (ECC). How did the migration of books to SAP S/4 HANA proceed?

As the demand for process automation on the part of users of SAP increases, a comprehensive tool has been created to automate the flow of purchase invoices – it is the SAP Invoice Management by OpenText (VIM). One of our teams has had the opportunity to take part in its implementation. Our task was to support our Client in launching the system, and the final result of our joint work was to post documents while ensuring compliance with Client's internal requirements and the provisions of acts on tax and accounting.

If employees travel regularly as part of their duties, which includes using company cars and paying with company credit cards, also in foreign currencies, it is worth choosing automated solutions that support the accounting department’s work and help ensure accurate calculations. The MDDP Outsourcing Team recently had the pleasure to act as an advisor during the implementation of SAP Concur and its integration with SAP in one of international construction companies. We were faced with the challenge of coordinating work on the systemic configuration of processes in compliance with Polish tax requirements.

"MDDP is responsible for bookkeeping, preperation of tax returns, inputting payments into the banking systems, issuing sales invoices, statutory and management reporting."

How to solve problems with the time-consuming and complicated process of preparing monthly consolidation reports as well as individual and consolidated periodic reports? A team of MDDP Outsourcing specialists has participated in the implementation of improvements for a Client belonging to a group of a dozen or so entities, both Polish and foreign ones.

It seemed that the implementation processes in both entities would be similar and standard, but nothing could be more wrong. What unconventional approaches did we have to adopt? Was it possible to adapt all system processes to legal and tax requirements? And what unexpected problems did we encounter? Read our Case Study and check it out.

Along with improvements in the broadly understood area of Customer experience, the SAP system is developing as well. This is how its new version, SAP Fiori, was created to respond to user requirements. SAP Fiori – what is this design system for creating business applications and how does it work? What were the challenges faced by the team of MDDP Outsourcing specialists supporting a Client in its implementation? Check out our new case study.

After the major restrictions were lifted, we began to travel for business purposes again. Therefore, the processes related to bookings and accounting for business travel as well as other employee expenses have been revived. A challenge that the MDDP Outsourcing team has faced recently was actually related to the implementation and integration of the SAP Concur system, which is a very good example of a modern and automatic travel expense management solution.

Effective achievement of business goals requires better and better and more and more efficient system solutions that support an organisation’s internal processes. Many types of activities in a company are being increasingly handled with the aid of dedicated IT tools, the use of which enables optimisation of work. IT systems are an ideal tool to support human work, and it is worth integrating particular systems to achieve the synergy effect.

The ability to create proprietary solutions in response to the individual needs of a particular business turned out to be extremely useful during one of the implementation projects in a Client’s company, carried out under the supervision of MDDP Outsourcing specialists. The Client needed to streamline the calculation of interest on loans and its correct posting. We suggested to the group, where there are about 30 loans in one entity, that an SAP B1 add-on be created for the purposes of monthly interest calculation.

Changing the provider of accounting services may prove to be a big challenge. Especially when the need for such a change arises during the ongoing tax year and requires quick action on the part of the new accounting office. Among the numerous implementation projects, our experts from Warsaw and Katowice are willing to undertake even such complex operations.

Provision of quality accounting services based on the system selected by the Client is one of the most important advantages of outsourced accounting. In this case, the need to implement the SAP Business One system was related to the fact that this accounting software had already been used by the Client’s related entities. Over time, the need to standardise the software for the entire group was ascertained.
